A Letter from the Rotation.org Board
2009
Dear Fellow Rotation.org Friends:
Some people think Rotation.org's free online lessons
are a great way to "save money." But we at rotation.org don't think
of it in that
way. Instead, we think the free lessons are about "choice."
Instead of paying for one writer's art workshop lesson, at rotation.org
you can freely choose from many writers and their lessons -for free. Instead of paying for one video
recommendation, at rotation.org you can find several for each story. You
can mix and match between lessons and ideas. And
you have the choice to contact the person who made the recommendation.
Instead of paying a publisher for some workshops you may never use but
come packaged together at one price, at rotation.org you select just
what you need for free.
Instead of spending money on printed materials your teachers may not
entirely use or will need to modify, because Rotation.org's lessons are
free, you can spend your budget dollars on better supplies (such as real
art supplies), kid-attracting decor, new media, and better equipment.
Rotation.org is about choosing to share rather than just being a
curriculum customer. At rotation.org you can contribute your great
lesson ideas to thousands of other churches, including many which cannot
afford the choice of published curriculum.
That said, the thousands of free rotation.org lessons
are saving churches a lot of money. Many of those are small churches on
limited budgets who are struggling in these challenging times. Your
support of rotation.org not only helps your church, it helps your
budget, and it helps many churches that are in need.
Truly, Rotation.org is a new paradigm... When you choose to be part
of Rotation.org you are choosing to be part of something
new and
different. We are making the choice to reach out across geographic and
denominational lines to freely share our teaching talents and gifts
with others. We are choosing to distribute training materials and offer
help without regard to one's ability to pay.
But actually, Rotation.org isn't really "free" at all. It exists
because hundreds of individuals and churches have chosen to make an
annual donation of $50 to $100 to keep the site alive and improving.
If
you've never contributed in the past, please consider it now. If it's
been a while, now would be a great time to renew your support.
Send your check to:
